Congratulations to the home team and my friend Drazen Anzulovic. Enisey was better tonight and deserved to win. We had our moments but it was obvious, and I said about it previously: we didn’t have enough time to become a real team. We got a good lesson. Enisey players hit amazing shots, they were enthusiastic, they fought on boards. We were behind them in almost every situation and we shot poorly – 34% from the field and less than 26 percent of threes. In our lives and in sports you have some falls. Painful losses and our reaction characterized us last season. We are going to watch the film and realize why we shot so poorly and what kind of decisions we were making. The only thing we can do is to become better.
